The two System Setup screens, Page 1 and Page 2, display the current setup and con- figuration information and optional settings for your system. Typical examples are illustrated in Figure 4-1. Information on the two System Setup screens is organized in five boxed areas:

‡Title box

The box at the top of both screens lists the system name, page number (Page 1 or Page 2), and the revision number of the basic input/output system (BIOS).

‡Configuration options

The box on the left half of both screens lists the categories that define the installed hardware in your computer.

Fields beside the categories contain options or values; those that appear bright on the screen can be changed. Options or values that you cannot change because they are determined by the system appear less bright.

Some categories have multiple fields, which may show options or values as bright or less bright depending upon what options or values you entered in other fields.
